Hi all,

Been away from the game for a little while, and have just got back into it. I have been reading up on the recent World's reports and noticed that Temporary Alliance (M) was used in a number of the top placed Armies to allow more than two Rebels into be included. I'm guessing it is legit, but I've had a look for the Errata that allowed it to occur and had no luck finding it. Can someone post a link?

Thanks, pk2

Temporary Alliance still only allows 2 Rebels to be included in a Scum list. Same for the Imp version for including Scum.

However, Scum lists use the eJawa's ability called Scavenged Stock to include droids from any faction. So more than 3 Rebels can be on a Scum list when the eJawa is pulling R2 and/or 3P0 on top of 2 Rebels from Temp Alliance.

Thanks, clears it up.

so basically the Empire gets screwed

I think this is an outcome we can all get behind...

The Empire WAS The faction with the best support figures (Officers). The were so good, they even got nerfed.

All other good support figures are either Rebels (Gideon, Hera, R2, 3PO, Chopper) or Mercs (Jabba) or even Rebel Mercs (Chopper with Headhunter). And with a Jawa and Temporary Alliance, you can use em all in Mercs at the same time.

Jabba is like R2 and 3PO, just one less activation.

All other imperal support figures just suck. Kayn Somos, Blaise, ...

So your choice is Han, Rangers, Smugglers or Weequays, IG, Vinto, Onar, Ugnaught, Hired Guns, Greedo ... and we all know Greedo Is Awesome.

So yes, the Empire is screwed. Since Zillo came out, basically, they got no good support.

But it seems they are going to get both (perhaps) eDeath Trooper and Thrawn and still have rOfficers so perhaps it's going to change.

In tournament play the map rotation hurts Imps even more with Uscru. Imperials can't take advantage of slow turn 1 and turn 2 play to power up their entire list like rebs & mercs can.
